Effect of Various Blansing Treatment and Drying Temperature on Organoleptic Characteristics of Mustard Leaf Stalk Flour (Brassica juncea)

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of blanching method and drying temperatures on organoleptik properties of  mustard stalk flour. The study was conducted at the Development Product and Food Analysis Laboratory of  Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo University from March to May 2020 used basic descriptive method. The sample used was mustard greens stalk.  Various blanching method used without blanching, water blanching, steam blanching, and microwave blanching.
